MARENA

Finishing collage was a relief. I t waas sad too. no family showed up to watch me graduate, just friends although they were involved in the graduation also. I had to watch them go up to their family's, laugh, hug, watch their parents say im proud of you. I didn't get that. I told them not to even bother showing up. my fault. I would of still expected then to show up anyway. If they loved me. I guess I was wrong.

Now entering England all they way from New York. I finally get to start over. I finally get to forget. I smile. I smile for once in my life, I'm pleased, for once Im happy because I did something for me and not for someone else. A new beginning and a fresh start.

"thank you sir what room again?" I say getting my key from the middle aged man.

" 429" he smiles nodding. I nod and smile back grabbing my bags heading into my apartment. I heard alot of people don't stay here because most people can't afford it. I guess I picked a nice place to stay. It was nice inside and clean to perfection. I was hoping my apartment looks the same way. I enter the elevator pressing number four the level im on. I wait for the elevator to stop with a ding getting off turning to the left to find my room. I could hear yelling and a bunch of boys laughing next door. I roll my eyes and put the key in the hole unlocking the door and entering. It was beautiful and roomy. To big to be an apartment. I remember the man saying something about penthouse and apatrment but I was barely listening I was to busy gasping the place so I remembered the apartment part. I sit my bags down to look around. I turn left to see a closet door I'm guessing to hand coats or whatever I don't care because I'm not going to use it. Further was the living room. The left was the kitchen and inside the kitchen it had a tiny bathroom. leaving out the way I came into the kitchen, to your right was the hallway with a bedroom to the right. I step inside to see a small bed, a chest and a night stand right next to the bed, and then a dresser with a tv planted on top of it. I leave out and walk straight across the bedroom to a bathroom with a shower inside and next to the bathroom a laundry room. It seems small but it wasn't it was kind of big for an apartment. I smile knowing I was going to be here for a while.

I unpack a couple of minutes later after looking around ready to explore this building. I heard there's an inside pool, gym, and court yard. Everything I like. I leave out thankful I didn't hear the boys next door to me again. Not until I bump into one.
